Postpartum Depression
Robin Bates-Pualuan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Feeling sad, inadequate, and overwhelmed during a time when everyone else expects you to be blissful can add to the pain. Becoming a parent is a huge undertaking and it doesn't always happen smoothly. If you are experiencing more sadness than you're comfortable with after having a baby, I can work with you to help you start feeling like yourself again.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my work with clients experiencing postpartum depression, I provide a gentle, understanding space to explore and address the complex emotions that arise during this challenging time. Utilizing a blend of therapeutic techniques tailored to the nuances of postpartum experiences, including Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, we collaboratively navigate the journey toward healing. This holistic approach not only aims to alleviate the symptoms of postpartum depression but also supports clients in reconnecting with themselves and their loved ones, fostering resilience and self-compassion. Recognizing the unique journey of each individual, I am committed to offering personalized support, empowering clients to regain a sense of balance and well-being in their new role. My goal is to guide you through this period of adjustment with care and understanding, providing the tools and insights needed to move forward with confidence and joy.

Postpartum Depression
Raquel Molina
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have years of experience after facilitating peripartum and postpartum depression/anxiety groups and working with individuals with postpartum depression or anxiety. Many women experience symptoms before or after the birth of a child. Some women may feel sad, anxious or guilty. Some mother's may have a hard time adjusting after realizing having a child is not what they expected and internal or external pressures may contribute to distress and functional impairments. Therapy can help support a parent during this difficult time.
